‘Leaning Tower Of Dallas’ Drawing Crowds With Camera Phones: ‘We Had To Come Get A Picture With It’

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – It might be Dallas’ most Instagrammable spot right now.

People have been showing up much of the day Monday to take pictures of the “Leaning Tower of Dallas.”

This after a building implosion went awry on Sunday.

Part of the 11-story office building at the corner North Central Expressway and Haskell Avenue is still standing, at an angle, despite multiple attempts to bring it down.

“I saw the pictures, and I was like, ‘I have to go see it. I have to go see it’,” said Eric Martinez.

Sunday’s failure was Monday’s internet sensation, as crowds flocked to see the building frozen mid-demolition. The stubborn leftover is the core shaft that contained the elevator and stairwells, according to Lloyd B. Nabors Demolition.

But to everyone else, it’s the Leaning Tower of Dallas.

“We had to come get our picture with it leaning, just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Now we have our own. We think it should stay,” said Kelley Breeding.
